Day 11

Successfully Crossed the 2 hour mark today. I should strive to keep that time duration from now on. The preparation goes in very pace when you sit for long durations. But, couldn’t spend the last half hour productively. I will learn to keep up the concentration levels in couple of days.

Day 8 and 9

No Preparation these days as well…got some of my colleagues for Dinner.

Don’t know if it’s the work stress or the fact that there was no rest on the weekend, I spent Monday and Tuesday just sleeping the entire evenings. But even that resulted in a good thing. I started to getup at 5 in the morning, thanks to that I could break the 2 hour duration for my preparation.

So Day 8 and Day 9 – No Preparation
